I have a question. I just inserted a new sensor and it bled. Can I still use it, or have to do a new one? I don’t know what I should do.

You can wait and see if it works after the warm up. Mine often read way too low and are erratic when I bleed, so if they don’t work correctly, the manufacturer should replace them.

It kind of depends just how it ends up working and how you feel about it. I always ignore a little bleeding, they usually work pretty good. I did have one that bled just a little but it had a huge one inch bruise around it while working fine. But I kept wondering what it looked like under the sensor and decided to pull it off to see. Nothing, absolutely nothing was going on under the sensor, all the bruising etc was a ring around the outside. But I would still have probably kept wondering what was going under it if I hadn’t.
Thank you for your help. I did call Dexcom and they said it should be ok. I was just worried cuz I am also on a blood thinner and I was scared it might bleed a lot… I did get it stopped.
